Hotel Riverside

This was my 4th trip to Goa in the last couple of years. We stayed for 4 nights post Christmas before the New Year. The place is very close to Baga beach. I knew the hotel location and what it looked like when I booked but never stayed there in the past. The place looks great from outside but is run down inside near the pool area and the rooms. Rooms are spacious. Bed covers were clean but the mattress were not very comfortable. Bathrooms are very basic. There was no water pressure. 1 of the 3 rooms we had booked had a tap and a shower and the other 2 rooms had just a shower and not a single tap. Pool area was not maintained though the pool itself was clean. It looked like there was a huge barbecue place there that has been shut down and you can see reminiscence of it. Apparently Danny has moved out and the hotel is being run by the owner himself. So there is no proper restaurant available in the hotel. They serve some basic food if you need which is expensive. Complimentary Break fast as mentioned in many of the reviews was Toast, Butter, Jam and Tea/Coffee. So I did not have very high expectations. There is a Bar & Restaurant next door called Cheenos which is a bit noisy but looked nice. It felt like they were more friendly towards the Russians staying there than Indians. Overall nice location if you are just a couple or single but a poorly maintained place.
